Appendiceal adhesion may have different clinical manifestations and symptoms according to the severity, generally manifested as abdominal pain, abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms.
1. Mild appendiceal adhesion may not have any clinical manifestations in the early stage, or only mild abdominal pain, which may be slightly aggravated after eating.
2. Severe appendiceal adhesion may cause persistent pain, mostly in the right lower abdomen, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and may even lead to intestinal obstruction such as difficulty in passing stool. After eating, it can also cause abdominal fullness, and in severe cases, it can also be manifested as inability to pass gas and defecation, which seriously affects the quality of life of the patients.
Appendiceal adhesion can be diagnosed by abdominal ultrasound, and after diagnosis, it is usually treated conservatively first, and when conservative treatment is ineffective, or after the emergence of strangulated intestinal obstruction and signs of peritoneal irritation, surgical treatment is needed.
After the discovery of appendiceal adhesion, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital in a timely manner, under the guidance of the doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
